Hope you're having a wonderful visit with your family, MK. Fly on over VA and wave at me! Love & Hugs, Becky...
My heart is breaking. Thank you, Joyce, for letting us know....
Mary K., you and Chuck continue to be on my prayer list. May the Lord comfort you during this most difficult time. Sending hugs and love, Becky...
Bless your heart, MK. What a week you have had! So glad you have good help. Still praying here in VA. Love, Becky...
Well, Bev, I kept George busy the month of June acting as my nurse while I was battling cellulitis. Things are looking better now. The infection is gone, but I'm still wearing an Unna boot to help...
Bev, welcome as new co-moderator and thank you for accepting MK's invitation to help. Hope you heal quickly. I know that bandages can be a pain! Becky...
Thanks for the update, Joyce. I've kept checking here to see if there's any news. Like you, I'm sorry it's not better. I am so thankful, though, that you are in contact with her daughter. Will keep...
Thinking of you and dh today, MK. Give us an update when you can. Sending hugs your way, Becky...
Once upon a time, we lived in a land where our bodies had not been touched by cancer. Then one day, we heard that awful word “malignant.” We underwent treatment – surgery, chemo, and radiation as...
Checking in to let you know that I miss you, too, and I'm so glad you're feeling better. I miss our Literati nights. What fun we had trying (and failing) to dethrone the Scrabble Queen! Poor Libby is...
She sounded so good! Since she can't get to a computer and Jo-Ann's computer blew up, she wanted someone to let everyone know how she is. She's fine. There's not going to be any surgery, at least...
Congratulations, Ellen! One of the things I've always liked best about our board is marking important milestones with our breast friends. Enjoy a slice of cake with pink icing -- and don't forget to...
I know many of you have already been praying this week for the victims and families of the massacre that took place near us Monday. Our governor has declared tomorrow a day of mourning in our state,...
Here's a hug with a sigh of relief! Will remember March 9 because that's the date for my onc checkup. Until then, keep praying and enjoy the sound of that lovely word "BENIGN." Love ya, Becky...
Hey, Deb. Just sent you an e-mail, and here's an extra hug. Love, Becky...
Becky ...
{{{MK}}} You're right -- breathe. Worse than being diagnosed with bc is having a loved one diagnosed. You can be assured that I will be praying for her. Is this Carolyn? I'm so thankful that Jo-Ann...
Thank you, Jo-Ann. You two ladies enjoy your visit. Maybe you can find where Chuck is hiding the John Deere....
Hey, Cathi. I want to thank you for this openly honest look at how you are doing. We've all been touched by cancer and know that it can get ugly. I'm so sorry you've had such bad pain. May this...
Now this is a true blessing for which to be thankful -- the pleasure of seeing the names/posts from old friends who are so dear to us. How wonderful to hear from you ladies. I miss you so much and am...
Gail, this was great warm fuzzy to start our day. What's more beautiful than seeing a loving family welcoming a new baby. And he's so beautiful! I loved your website, and I'm so very happy for you...
Joyce, please tell Cathi that we're so glad to hear such positive news! Hopefully the drs will get that fever under control soon. Give our dear friend a gentle hug and tell her she continues in my...
Hmm -- a pink quilt for a landing pad cushioned by a pink marshmallow caftan! How about adding layers of pink cotton candy to cushion us (not that Joyce isn't an excellent pilot!). That way we can...
Annette, I remember when the gathering was and seeing the pictures. At the time, I was undergoing treatment and Cincy seemed so far away to this rural VA girl. Who would have believed that we would...
Rachel. That must have eased her mother's heart. As ever, you are in my prayers about[b] this upcoming surgery. I'm sorry you have to go through this again, but so thankful that it's only loose...
Joining the Happy Dancin' in VA! MK, I can just feel your relief and am so happy for your family. Love ya, Becky...
Cathi, this news has taken my breath away. I am so very sorry to hear about Rachel. It sounds like her dr is on top of things, and she has a mother who loves her dearly and will see her through this....
Lauri, I still picture Melanie Rose as a baby -- and now she's the big sister! Wow! You will all be blessed by those two little ones. Congratulations on Luke Michael! L&H, Becky...
Thank you, Joyce and MK, for ordering the flowers for us. It's such a sad time when we have to do this, but I'm sure the family appreciates having flowers from the board that means so much to each of...
When you go to read her obituary, it directs you to www.mem.com. I hope each of you can go there and watch what they call the movie of her life. It's a slide show of beautfiul pictures of Shells from...
Cathi, I understand the many emotions you go through on your anniversary. I pray that the Lord will ease your pain and help you through this new chemo. How wonderful that you are having this trip! It...
Oh, Gail, how wonderful! What a blessing for all of you. She deserves to be 'ditsy!" Here's a big hug for Grandma. {{{Gail}}} L & H, Becky...
Vicky, I'm sorry you're having such a time with your tx. We do miss seeing you on the board, but we certainly understand that you need to take care of you. Just know that we love hearing from you...
Oh, Joyce, how precious! That Gia Marie has good timing. It's been snowing here all day, so it must be on its way to you. And to think that you were able to hold her. I was smiling through my tears!...
{{{Di}}} Talk about a full plate! I'm sure your mom is getting good care but how your heart must be breaking as her memory comes and goes. I'm sure those hugs of yours are a comfort to her and your...
Luci, may God bless this sweet babe and comfort his family. I'll be praying for all of you. Love and hugs, Becky...
Sorry I missed this the first time around, Luci. What special news! Even though we can't see his picture, I'm sure he's quite a handsome grandson. Please give this little blessing of yours a kiss...
Ah, Cathleen, my dear, sweet friend. How I wish I could take this from you. What I can do is love you dearly and pray for you daily. Please know that not a day goes by that we don't think of you. I'm...
Oh, Cathi. I'm so sorry. Can't help crying at the thought of your having to say bye to Cody. What a dear companion you had. Our pets are not just animals but members of our families. I know you're...
OK, here's a big hug for you Ms Di. Boy, your post made me feel like we need some in-person hugs soon! I hope we can have a gathering before another year passes. It sure seems like a lot of us have...
Woo Hoo, Bev! Good news is always welcome!! I had just read an e-mail from my youngest sister that her mammo had good results, then came on the board to read this from my SIL. I am thanking God...
Hello, dear Bev! It's so good to see you post and know that you're enjoying your new home. Are the dogs at home there yet? George is getting mopey thinking it's been way too long since we had a...
Bev, there's no place like home! I'm sure you're busy unpacking and making that new house your home. Would love to see it. More importantly, would love to see you! L&H, Becky & George...
Kitty, I wouldn't miss the PCE to be with you, but I sure do hope it has plenty of heat! When you see a cloud of pink feathers, you'll know that we've arrived! I'm praying that you will have good...
Happy Birthday, dear friend. I have a vision of a huge chocolate cake smothered in caramel! Oh, yes, and don't forget the ice cream! Well, what I'd love to know is what you wished for as you blew out...
Congratulations, Lauri! Tell Sarah that she gave us smiles to end our week. Can you imagine Rose as a big sister? I'm so happy for you all. L&H, Becky...
Annette, just the picture of our baby Jordan growing into a first grade young girl is quite an illustration of how long our group has been together -- and still growing! You're allowed a tear her...
Hooray, Lori! Just keep on marking those milestones, girl. We're right here with you. I picked up my last tamoxifen refill today and go to the onc on Monday. I'm hoping I graduate to annual visits...
Well, Happy Birthday, Lauri! So sorry I missed it, but glad to join in a belated celebration. Maybe I'm still tired from reading your travelogue -- lol. Continue the celebration throughout the year....
